Along with a punting average of better than 42 yards, the Wildcats' senior-to-be averages a 4.0 in the classroom on a finance and marketing track. He was chosen as an Academic All-American last year.

He's logged more than 60 punts per year over the last three seasons and is on pace to finish his UK career with more than 250.If Landon is as smart as his twitter (@BigBlueKick12) is funny, then it is totally deserved. You can see the other 14 players who made this list here or look at the entire series here. @Hessler_KSR
